Don't be; it's no more difficult than using the Cape Cod and it looks great!

That's the Pink Flower Dial, Henry...

Looks great but I'll save mine for Rolex Service.

It looks great. I've heard it mentioned on TRF, though, that Cape Cod cloths contribute to global warming (think drowning baby polar bears) and terminal brain cancer in furry golden retriever puppies. But some things are worth the price.

Well done!

Cape cod is fantastic, I was given this Tiffanys ring by an old girlfriend and a few years later I found it and it was half black and grey but after a quick polish it was shining as new.

Great job! Is it difficult making sure that the polishing is to Rolex specs?

Never been really “pro-puppy" per se so no big deal. :D

I have found that the cloth still leaves very fine lines behind.

HL65 · 14 October 2013, 10:16 AM

Well done!

The cloth has an abrasive of a specific grade. To remove those scratches you need to use a finer grade polish.

Sunshine Polishing Cloths is the best product out there for a polished surface. I have been using them for years, and it removes all small scratches.

Not to change the subject but that looks like one of the first Yacht Masters where a Submariner case was used. I don't believe Rolex used this case design for more than a year or so but I'm not sure. I believe it was only used on the initial full gold models and never on the two tone or steel and platinum models. It's not something one sees very often, very nice piece.

Good-looking Y.M. Now, what about a rose-gold Y.M., special order?

Thanks

..... it's a Sub case indeed, don't know how long Rolex used this case design for the early full gold YM.
